- _delirium 7y agoYes, both Android and iOS respect carrier policies for this. There's a carrier-configuration bundle loaded from the carrier which can set a bunch of things, including the access point names (APNs) for data. The carrier can choose to set separate APNs for mobile data and tethered data, and can choose whether to lock those settings or make them user-editable. If you root the phone, of course, you can just change the tethering APN to the data APN, but I don't believe current versions of either Android or iOS let users do it without rooting, if your carrier has marked it non-editable. An Apple support page notes that you "can only edit or view your APN on your iPhone and iPad if your carrier allows it": https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201699 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201699.
